Chapter 16
Jason's Room
Mimi: Jason what are we going to do now that Philip is free. How could they let him out of jail.
Jason: Mimi he can't hurt us anymore. We aren't wearing blinders. We know what he is capable of.
Bo: Hey Mimi can I talk to you out here for a minute.
Mimi: Sure be right back Jason.
Hope ran in the room when Mimi wasn't looking. She handed Jason a small velvet box. She hugged him and without any words smiled and hurried out before Mimi could see here.
Mimi: Miss me.
Jason: Always. Come sit on the bed with me.
Mimi: Okay.
Jason: I want you to know that you never have to worry about Philip hurting us ever again. I love you and I will protect you until the day we die.
Mimi: I know you will but it just scares me I almost lost you once.
Jason: Baby, I will never let anyone rip us apart again. I love you to much to let anything hurt you again. If you give me a chance I will spend my life loving and protecting you. Will you marry me?
Mimi was stunned. She stared at the ring and looked up at Jason with tears in her eyes.
Jason: I want you to know that I have had that ring for the past nine months. I was planning on proposing to you that night I got kidnapped.
Mimi: Jason, this ring is beautiful. I don't know what to say.
Jason: Say you'll be my wife. I love you, Mimi, and I promise to always protect you and our daughter.
Mimi: Yes. Yes, Jason, I will marry you.
Mimi jumps into Jason's arms and the two hug and kiss.
Chloe's Room
Chloe watched as her boyfriend walked back into the room. He had a serious look on his face. Chloe knew something was up.
Chloe: Brady, what is wrong?
Brady: Chloe, there is something I really need to talk to you about.
Chloe: I can tell something is wrong. Tell me.
Brady: I don't really know how to say this.
Chloe: Just say it.
Brady: I'm having trouble with you trying to kill yourself. I don't know if I can trust you.
Chloe: Brady, I have explained it to you and I'm terribly sorry about it.
Brady: It just isn't about you being sorry. I don't know if I can be with you or not.
Chloe: What are you saying? Are you breaking up with me?
Brady: I just need some time and space.
Chloe: What about me? What about Deric? He loves you like a father. You can't leave him.
Brady: I'm not his father, Chloe. And I love Deric and I don't want to be away from him but I am not his father. I just need some space.
Chloe: You have had space from me for the last nine months. Doesn't being apart from me mean anything to you?
Brady: Of course it means something to me. Do you know I thought about you everyday? Everytime I would look into your son's eyes, all I could see was you. Everytime I would think about giving up, I would just think of you and that would give me stregth to keep fighting. I love you but I can't get over the fact that you tried to kill yourself.
Chloe: I don't know what to say.
Brady: I gotta get out of here. I'll talk to you later.
Chloe: But Brady...
Brady: Chloe, I can't talk about this anymore. I know that I've hurt you and I'm sorry. Just give me some time.
Without another word, Brady turned and walked out of the door he just came in. Chloe closed her eyes to keep the tears inside her eyelids.
